Udinese vs AC Milan predictions & betting tips

The Stadio Friuli sets the stage for a crucial Serie A showdown this Friday as Udinese host AC Milan.

Udinese are desperate to end a three-match losing streak, while AC Milan aim to build on their recent upturn, having won two of their last three matches. Both teams are under pressure to deliver, making this a must-watch encounter.

Recent form highlights contrasting fortunes. Udinese are winless in their last four outings, struggling defensively with a -5 goal difference. However, their average of 1.74 goals per home game offers a glimmer of hope. AC Milan, meanwhile, have showcased attacking consistency, scoring in nine consecutive matches, though their defensive frailties persist, conceding in each of their last eight games. This sets the stage for what could be a high-scoring affair.

Historically, AC Milan have dominated this fixture, winning 32 of their 65 meetings, including a narrow 1-0 victory in their most recent clash. Udinese’s home advantage has often fallen short against the Rossoneri, with the most common result at Stadio Friuli being a 2-1 win for the visitors. However, Udinese will look to rewrite the script, buoyed by their improved league position compared to last season’s 14th-place finish.
